We got our first three issues of Amazing Spider-Man in the comic box yesterday. If it had been up to me, it wouldn't have occurred to me to get it, but the thirteen-year-old was interested in checking it out. She liked it, so goal accomplished.
As for me, I have no idea how it compares to the pre-One More Day issues, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. (Not because of any OMD-related complaints, but because I've just never been that interested in Spider-Man at all.) I particularly appreciated the scene with Wolverine in the New Avengers' hangout, which went a long way toward explaining how that whole thing works "now." And while I don't know who most of the apparent regulars are supposed to be, there was enough information there so I wasn't entirely lost, so I'd say that the book is fairly friendly to new readers.
I can see how the "lovable loser" thing could get annoying after a while, but at this point it's still kind of cute. Ask me again in a year. :)
